Tip 1 In order not to think about how to get rid of building dust, think in advance how to block her way to other rooms. Even if the repair has covered the whole apartment, hang temporary curtains made of polyethylene or thick fabric in the doorways. You do not want to mess with the films, install temporary doors, which, in fact, are also films, only the design is equipped with a lightning in the middle and does not require any tweaks when installing into the opening.

Tip 2 If in the process of repairing the doors remain in place, and you expect to block the path of dust by closing them, do not flatter yourself, the dust is smarter! Be sure to lay a wet rag in the gap that forms between the door and the floor. |

Tip 5 After completing the dirty stage of work (chipping walls, drilling holes, plastering), remove dust immediately. The easiest way is a vacuum cleaner. But I would not recommend using household models, such dust in two accounts will bring them down. And now, you do not have a vacuum cleaner! And how to clean the house dust? You do not know how best to remove dust after repair? I advise you to look at the rental of an industrial vacuum cleaner, for example, Becker. |

Vegetable oil If using a detergent to get rid of divorce failed, will help the recipe with vegetable oil. Pour oil into warm water (2–3 tablespoons per 5 liters), mix thoroughly and wash the floor. Wash the oil off the floor by repeated washing with a solution of vinegar in water. |

Salt You can wash the floors with salt. The first cleaning step is washing with warm water with the addition of a suitable detergent. Then add 150 grams of regular salt to a bucket of warm water (7 liters) and rinse the floor. |

Manganese Wash the wooden floor of dirt under the force of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate). The powder is diluted in water so that it will find a rich bright pink color. |

Kerosene After construction repairs, construction dust can be removed with kerosene, which is added to warm water at the rate of 100 grams of kerosene per 5 liters of water. |
 |
Ammonia To wash the laminate after the repair will help liquid ammonia, prepared at the rate of 1 tablespoon of alcohol per liter of water. And do not forget to rinse the floor with clean water. Excellent tool - efficiency and low price. |
Hard case
Now let's consider more serious cases, for example, paint that fell on the floor. The choice of means and recipe will largely depend on the type of surface and paint.
- PVA based polyvinyl acetate paints removed with saturated soapy water. As an assistant, take a kitchen sponge with a hard side for cleaning.
- Dried acrylic paint surrenders before the pressure of degreasing agents, for example, alcohol, solvent or detergent. If the stain is emblazoned on your floor for more than a day, then the above recipes may turn out to be ineffective, now heavy artillery is used: gasoline, White spirit, kerosene, acetone and brake fluid.
The above fluids are extremely aggressive, so they can be applied only on a point with a soft cloth. The procedure is repeated 3-4 times with a break of 10 minutes.
If you have made a choice in favor of special tools, carefully scratch a spot of paint before applying it. Such a simple action increases the penetrating properties of cleansing liquids and pastes.
Now it remains for the small - it is necessary to return the "healthy" shine to the floor. And for this, manufacturers have saved up a whole arsenal of tools, from fragrant creams to foaming mixtures.
